Pull me down under water
I want to fight to breathe
Lay me on a bed of roses
And push down until I bleed
I’m true to my virtues
I'm worth being abused

Light me up like a flame
And burn me to the ground
Break the skin a little more
I know that you know how
But you never want to
Why are you so cruel

Show me no mercy
I want you to hurt me
I want to feel it all
Show me no mercy
You shouldn’t be sorry
When all I want is more
If you keep loving me you'll kill me
You gotta make it hurt
Don’t show me no mercy
Don’t take it easy on me

Take me to your happy place
And bury me alive
Resurrect me like I'm Jesus
And kiss me when I die
I know that you love me
So won’t you show me

Show me no mercy
I want you to hurt me
I want to feel it all
Show me no mercy
You shouldn’t be sorry
When all I want is more
If you keep loving me you'll kill me
You gotta make it hurt
Don’t show me no mercy
Don’t take it easy on me

Don’t take it easy on me
Don’t take it easy
Don’t take it easy
Don’t take it easy on me

Show me no mercy
I want you to hurt me
I want to feel it all
Show me no mercy
You shouldn’t be sorry
When all I want is more
If you keep loving you'll kill me
You gotta make it hurt
Don’t show me no mercy
Don’t take it easy on me

My OpinionOkay, so this song is one of my personal favourites because it's so relevant to my life, in the way I see it.
Basically, the person singing the song (or songwriter, or whatever you wanna call them :P ) feels as though they deserve abuse because they've done things that, in their eyes, are unforgiveable. Their want/longing/need for abuse has gotten to the point that it feels like it's cruel for people to not abuse them because they really do believe they deserve it. It's gotten to where they're literally begging people to hurt them because they feel so horrible without getting the punishment they think they deserve.
I'm not proud to say that I have actually done this before... I've told people "you can go ahead and hurt me, if you want" or even begged them to beat me to a pulp because I feel so horrible about what I've done and I feel like I should be abused and hated.
Yeah... that's basically a summarized version of my take on it ^^;
